Burnley F.C.

Burnley Football Club (/ˈbɜːrnli/) is an English

association football club based in Burnley, Lancashire, Burnley
that currently competes in the Premier League, the top
tier of English football. Founded on 18 May 1882, it
was one of the first to become professional (in 1883),
and subsequently put pressure on the Football
Association to permit payments to players. The club
entered the FA Cup for the first time in 1885–86 and
was one of the 12 founder members of the Football
League in 1888–89. From the 1950s until the 1970s,
under chairman Bob Lord, the club became renowned
for its youth policy and scouting system, and was one

History

Early beginnings and the first major honours (1882–1946)

The club was founded on 18 May 1882 by members of rugby team Burnley Rovers, who voted for a shift
to association football, since other sports clubs in the area had changed their codes to football.[2] The suffix
"Rovers" was dropped a few days later.[2] The team played their first recorded match on 10 August against
local side Burnley Wanderers at home ground Calder Vale and won 4–0.[3] In February 1883, the club was
invited by Burnley Cricket Club to a pitch adjacent to the cricket field at Turf Moor, where it has remained
since.[4][5] That same year saw them win their first silverware: the Dr Dean Trophy, a knockout
competition between amateur clubs in the Burnley area.[6]
By the end of 1883, the club turned professional and signed many
Scottish players, who were regarded as the best footballers by the
Burnley committee. As a result, Burnley refused to join the
Football Association (FA) and its FA Cup, since the association
barred professional players.[7] In 1884, they led a group of 35
other clubs in the formation of the breakaway British Football
Association (BFA) to challenge the supremacy of the FA.[7][8]
This threat of secession led to an FA rule change in July 1885
allowing professionalism, which made the BFA redundant.[8] One of the earliest photographed

however, most professionals were prohibited entry due to FA rules
that year,[b] so they fielded their reserve side and lost 11–0 to
Darwen Old Wanderers.[7] In October 1886, Turf Moor became the first professional ground to be visited
by a member of the Royal Family, when Prince Albert Victor attended a match between Burnley and
Bolton Wanderers.[6][9] The club was among the twelve founders of the Football League in 1888–89 and
one of the six based in Lancashire.[10] In the second match, William Tait became the first player to score a
league hat-trick,[11] when his three goals gave Burnley their inaugural win in the competition.[12] In 1889–
90, they claimed their first Lancashire Cup, after beating local rivals Blackburn Rovers in the final.[13]
Nicknames at this point were "Turfites", "Moorites" or "Royalites", as a result of their ground's name and
the royal connection.[14]

Burnley were relegated to the Second Division for the first time in 1896–97.[15] The team won the division
the next season; only two of thirty matches were lost before promotion was gained through a four-team
play-off series called test matches, although the last game against First Division club Stoke was
controversial. The tie finished 0–0 as both needed only a draw for a top flight place; it was later named "
[t]he match without a shot at goal". The Football League soon withdrew the test match system in favour of
automatic promotion and relegation and expanded both divisions from 16 to 18 clubs after a motion by
Burnley.[16] They were relegated again in 1899–1900 and found themselves at the centre of controversy
when their goalkeeper, Jack Hillman, attempted to bribe opponents Nottingham Forest in the last match of
the season.[17] It is possibly the earliest recorded case of match fixing in football.[18] The side continued to
play in the Second Division and even finished in bottom place in 1902–03 (but were re-elected),[19] as the
club got into financial difficulties.[20]

Harry Windle was named chairman in 1909, after which the club's
finances turned around.[21] He appointed manager John Haworth
in 1910,[22] who changed the club's colours from green to the
claret and blue of Aston Villa, the then First Division champions,
as Haworth and the Burnley committee believed it might bring a
change of fortune.[23] In 1912–13, they won promotion to the first
tier and reached the FA Cup semi-final. Burnley won their first
major honour the following year, beating Liverpool in the 1914 FA
Cup Final.[15] Bert Freeman scored the only goal, as Burnley
became the first club to defeat five top tier sides in one cup season. Team photograph of the
Tommy Boyle became the first captain to receive the trophy from a Championship-winning side of the
reigning monarch (King George V).[24][25] 1920–21 season

The team finished second to West Bromwich Albion in 1919–

20,[26] before winning their first ever First Division championship in 1920–21.[15] Burnley lost the opening
three games, but went unbeaten in the following thirty league matches, setting an English record.[27]
Haworth's death in 1924 was followed by a steady deterioration of their position, which culminated in
demotion in 1929–30.[28] They struggled in the second tier and avoided a further relegation in 1931–32 by
two points.[19][29] The years through to the outbreak of the Second World War were characterised by mid-
table league finishes.[19]

Progressive and golden era (1946–1976)

In the first season of post-war League football, Burnley gained promotion through second place and
reached the 1947 FA Cup Final but were defeated by Charlton Athletic after extra time.[30] The team's
defence was nicknamed "The Iron Curtain", since they only conceded 29 goals in 42 league matches.[30]
Burnley finished third in their first season back in the top flight as they began to assemble a squad capable
of competing for honours.[15][31]

Alan Brown was appointed manager in 1954,[31] and Bob Lord chairman a year later.[32] The club became
one of the most progressive around under their tenures.[33][34] Burnley were one of the first to set up a
purpose-built training centre (Gawthorpe),[32][35] and they became renowned for their youth policy and
scouting system, which yielded many young talents.[33] Brown also introduced short corners and free kick
routines.[36] In 1958, former Burnley player Harry Potts was appointed manager.[37] His squad mainly
revolved around the duo of captain Jimmy Adamson and Jimmy McIlroy, the team's playmaker.[38] Potts
often employed the then unfashionable 4–4–2 formation and he implemented a Total Football playing
style.[32][37]

Burnley clinched a second First Division title in 1959–60. They

had not topped the table until the last match was played out.[39][c]
The squad cost only £13,000 (equivalent to £300,000 in 2021[d])
in transfer fees—£8,000 on McIlroy in 1950 and £5,000 on left-
back Alex Elder in 1959. The other players came from their youth
academy.[33] With 80,000 inhabitants, the town of Burnley
became the smallest to have an English first tier champion.[33][a]
They travelled to the United States after the season ended to
represent England in the International Soccer League, the first
modern international American soccer tournament.[42]

The following season, Burnley played in European competition for

the first time in the 1960–61 European Cup. They defeated former finalists Stade de Reims in the first
round, but went out against Hamburger SV in the quarter-finals.[43] The team finished the 1961–62 First
Division as runners-up to newcomers Ipswich Town after winning only two of the last thirteen matches,
and had a run to the FA Cup Final but lost against Tottenham Hotspur. Adamson was named FWA
Footballer of the Year, however, with McIlroy as runner-up.[44]

Nonetheless, although far from a two-man team, the controversial departure of McIlroy to Stoke City
(1963)[e] and Adamson's retirement (1964) coincided with a decline in fortunes.[45] Even more damaging
was the impact of the abolition of the maximum wage in 1961, which meant clubs from small towns, like
Burnley, could no longer compete financially with sides from bigger towns and cities.[32][47] The team
managed, however, to retain a First Division place throughout the decade, and even finished third in 1965–
66 to qualify for the 1966–67 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup.[15]

Potts was replaced by Adamson as manager in 1970 after a 12-year spell. Adamson hailed his squad as the
"Team of the Seventies", but he was unable to halt the slide as relegation followed in 1970–71.[48] Burnley
won the Second Division title in 1972–73, and were invited to play in the 1973 FA Charity Shield as a
result,[f] where they emerged as winners against Manchester City.[49] In 1975, the team were victims of one
of the great FA Cup shocks of all time when Wimbledon, then in the Southern League, won 1–0 at Turf
Moor.[52] Adamson left the club in January 1976, and relegation from the First Division followed later that
year.[53] During this period, a drop in home attendances combined with an enlarged debt forced Burnley to
sell star players such as Martin Dobson and Leighton James, which caused a rapid decline.[54]

Near oblivion and recovery (1976–2009)

The team were relegated to the

Third Division for the first time
in 1979–80.[15] Under the
management of former Burnley
player Brian Miller,[55] they
returned to the second tier as
champions in 1981–82.
However, this return was short-
lived and lasted only one Graph showing Burnley's performance from the inaugural season of the
year.[15] Managerial changes Football League in 1888–89 to the present
continued to be made in a
search for success; Miller was
replaced by Frank Casper in early 1983, he by John Bond before the 1983–84 season and Bond himself by
John Benson a season later.[55] Bond was the first manager since Frank Hill (1948–1954) without a
previous playing career at the club. He was criticised by the fans for signing expensive players increasing
Burnley's debt, and for selling the young talents Lee Dixon, Brian Laws and Trevor Steven.[56] Benson
was in charge when Burnley were relegated to the Fourth Division for the first time at the end of the 1984–
85 season.[55]

The team avoided relegation to the Football Conference, the highest level of non-League football, on the
last day in 1986–87, after they won against Orient and their rivals drew or lost.[57] The board had
reportedly attempted to purchase almost bankrupt Welsh club Cardiff City and relocate it to Turf Moor, if
Burnley were relegated, in what would have been the Football League's first franchise operation.[58]

In 1988, Burnley played Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Final of

the Associate Members' Cup, but lost 2–0. The match was
attended by 80,000 people, a record for a match between two sides
from the fourth tier.[59] The team won the Fourth Division in
1991–92 under manager Jimmy Mullen. He had succeeded Frank
Casper in October 1991 and won his first nine league matches as
manager.[60] By winning the fourth tier, the Clarets became only
the second club to win all four professional divisions of English
football, after Wolverhampton Wanderers.[61][62] Burnley won the
Second Division play-offs in 1993–94 and gained promotion to the
second tier.[63] Relegation followed after one season,[15] and in
1997–98 only a last day victory over Plymouth Argyle ensured a
narrow escape from relegation back into the fourth tier.[64] Chris
Waddle was player-manager that season with his assistant Glenn
Roeder,[65] but their departures and the appointment of Stan

During the 2000–01 and 2001–02 seasons, Burnley emerged as serious contenders for a promotion play-off
place.[15] In early 2002, financial problems caused by the collapse of ITV Digital brought the club close to
administration.[67] Ternent was sacked in 2004, after he avoided relegation with a squad composed of
many loanees and some players who were not entirely fit.[68] Steve Cotterill was then appointed as
manager but was replaced in November 2007 by Owen Coyle.[69] The 2008–09 campaign, Coyle's first
full season in charge, ended with promotion to the Premier League. Sheffield United were defeated in the
Championship play-off Final, which meant a return to the top flight after 33 years.[70] Burnley also reached
the semi-final of the League Cup for the first time in over 25 years but were beaten on aggregate by
Tottenham in the last minutes of the second leg.[71][72]

Premier League football and back in Europe (2009–present)

Promotion made the town of Burnley the smallest to host a Premier

League club.[73][74] The team started the season well and became the
first newly promoted side in the competition to win their first four home
games.[75] However, Coyle left the club in January 2010 to manage local
rivals Bolton Wanderers.[76] He was replaced by former Burnley player
Brian Laws, but the team's form plummeted and they were relegated after
a single season.[77] Laws was dismissed in December 2010 and replaced
by Eddie Howe, who was succeeded by Sean Dyche in October
2012.[69]

In his first full season in charge, Dyche guided Burnley back to the
Premier League in 2013–14 on a tight budget and with a small squad.[78]
The team went down after one season but won the Championship title on
their return in 2015–16, when they equaled their 2013–14 club record of
93 points, and ended the season with a run of 23 league games Current manager Sean Dyche

Dyche was involved in the training ground's design and had willingly
tailored his transfer budget as both he and the board focused on the club's
infrastructure and future.[35][80] Burnley finished seventh in 2017–18, which meant qualification for the
2018–19 UEFA Europa League and a return to European football after 51 years.[81] The team failed to
reach the group stage, as they were eliminated in the play-off round by Greek club Olympiacos.[82]

In December 2020, American investment company ALK Capital acquired an 84% stake in Burnley for
£170 million.[83] It was the first time the club was run by anyone other than local businessmen and Burnley
supporters.[84]

Club identity

Kits and colours

In the early years, Burnley used various kit designs and colours. Throughout the first nine years, there were
various permutations of blue and white, the colours of the club's forerunners Burnley Rovers.[23] After two
years of claret and amber stripes, for much of the mid-1890s a combination of black with amber was used,
although the team wore a shirt with pink and white stripes during the 1894–95 season. Between 1897 and
1900, the club used a plain red shirt and from 1900 until 1910 it wore an all-green jersey. In 1910, Burnley
changed their colours to claret and blue, which they now have had for most of their history, save for a spell
in white shirts during the 1930s and the Second World War.[23] The adoption of the claret and blue
combination paid homage to Football League champions Aston Villa, who wore those colours. Burnley's
committee and manager John Haworth believed it might bring a change of fortune.
The club decided to re-register its colours as claret and blue in 1946, partly due to
readers' letters to the Burnley Express.[23]

Burnley's jerseys were manufactured by local companies until 1975, when Umbro
became the first to have its logo on the club's shirt. Since 1975, the team have had
a variety of kit manufacturers and shirt sponsors. The club's first kit sponsor was
POCO in 1982, while the mobile game Golf Clash became its first sleeve sponsor
in 2017.[85][86] Burnley's strip in

Crest had long sleeves.

Burnley's first use of a crest was in

December 1887, when they wore the Royal Arms on the shirt.[85]
Prince Albert Victor watched the team play against Bolton
Wanderers at Turf Moor in October 1886—the first visit to a
professional football ground by a member of the Royal
Family.[6][9] To commemorate the visit, the club received a set of
white jerseys featured with a blue sash and embellished with the
Royal coat of arms. The crest was regularly worn on the shirts
until 1895, when it disappeared.[85] During the 1914 FA Cup
Final, watched by King George V,[25] it featured again on the
kits.[85]
The Royal Arms was Burnley's first
recorded crest. From 1914, the team played in unadorned shirts, although they
wore the coat of arms of Burnley in the 1934–35 FA Cup semi-
final and the 1947 FA Cup Final.[85][88] After winning the First
Division for a second time in 1960, Burnley were allowed to wear the town's crest on their shirts. In 1969,
it was replaced by a vertical "BFC" monogram. The initials were placed horizontally and lettered with gold
in 1975.[85] Burnley used a designed badge with elements from the town and the club on their home shirts
from 1979,[g] before they returned to the horizontal version of the "BFC" monogram in 1983, which was
lettered in white.[85][89] In 1987, the club returned to the crest used from 1979 to 1983.[85]

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1959–60 First Division

title win in 2009, Burnley decided to reinstate the logo used from
1960 to 1969. The following season, its Latin motto Pretiumque et
Causa Laboris (English: "The prize and the cause of [our]
labour") was replaced with the inscription "Burnley Football
Club".[85][90]

The club's current badge is based on the town's coat of arms.[89]

The stork at the top of the crest refers to the Starkie family, who
were prominent in the Burnley area. In its mouth it holds the Lacy
knot, the badge of the de Lacy family, who held Burnley and
Blackburnshire in medieval times. The stork stands on a hill (the Burnley's coat of arms formed the
Pennines) and cotton plants—which represents the cotton making foundation for the club's current
heritage of the town. In the black band, the hand represents crest.
Burnley's motto, "Hold to the Truth", derived from the Towneley
family. The two bees refer to the town's "busy ambience" and the
saying "as busy as a bee", but also allude to the former Bee Hole End at Turf Moor. Beneath the wavy,
claret line is a reference to the River Brun, which runs through the settlement. The lion represents royalty
and hints at Prince Albert Victor's visit in 1886.[89]

Stadium
The team have played their home games at Turf Moor since
February 1883, which replaced their original premises at Calder
Vale.[5] The Turf Moor site has been used for sport since at least
1843, when Burnley Cricket Club moved to the area.[4][91] In
1883, they invited Burnley to a pitch adjacent to the cricket
ground.[4][5] Both clubs have remained there since, and only
Lancashire rivals Preston North End have continuously occupied The James Hargreaves Stand
their stadium (Deepdale) for longer.[5] pictured before kick-off in 2001

The ground originally consisted of just a pitch and the initial

grandstand was not built until 1885.[4] In 1888, the first league match at Turf Moor saw Burnley emerge as
4–1 winners over Bolton Wanderers, Fred Poland netting the first league goal at the stadium.[12] Turf
Moor's capacity was increased to 50,000 under the chairman Harry Windle during the 1910s.[24] The
ground hosted its only FA Cup semi-final in 1922, between Huddersfield Town and Notts County, and five
years later it hosted its only full international match, between England and Wales for the British Home
Championship.[92][93] From the end of the Second World War until the mid-1960s, crowds in the stadium
averaged in the 20,000–35,000 range, and Burnley averaged a club-record attendance of 33,621 in the
1947–48 First Division.[94] The attendance record for a single match was already set in 1924 against
Huddersfield Town in an FA Cup third round tie, when 54,775 spectators attended.[95] In 1960, in an FA
Cup fifth round replay game against Bradford City, there was an official attendance of 52,850. Some of the
gates were broken down, however, and many uncounted fans poured into the ground.[96]

Turf Moor consists of four stands: the James Hargreaves Stand (formerly the Longside), the Jimmy McIlroy
Stand (formerly the Bee Hole End), the Bob Lord Stand, and the Cricket Field Stand for home and away
fans.[1][5] The current capacity is 21,944 all-seated.[1] Turf Moor's field had a slope until 1974, when the
pitch was raised to minimise it.[5] During the mid-1990s, the ground underwent further refurbishment when
the Longside and Bee Hole End terraces were replaced by all-seater stands as a result of the Taylor
Report.[97] In 2019, the club built two corner stands for disabled home supporters between the Jimmy
McIlroy and both the James Hargreaves and Bob Lord Stands to meet the Accessible Stadium Guide
regulations.[98][99]

Supporters and rivalries

Supporters

Burnley's supporters are mainly drawn from East Lancashire and West Yorkshire.[100] The club is one of
the best supported sides in English football per capita,[101] with average attendances of 20,000 in the
Premier League in a town of approximately 73,000 inhabitants.[102][103] Besides a loyal, local fan
base,[104] it has numerous supporters' clubs across the United Kingdom and overseas, with groups in
Australia, Finland, Mauritius, Poland, Thailand, and the United States among others.[105][106] The club's
fans have had a long-standing friendship with supporters of Dutch team Helmond Sport since 1995.
Burnley and Helmond have a small following who regularly make an overseas journey to visit each other's
 matches.[107] A frequently sung chant since the early 1970s is "No
Nay Never", an adaptation of the traditional song "Wild Rover",
which has lyrics to offend main rivals Blackburn Rovers.[108]

In the early 1980s, a hooligan firm known as the Suicide Squad

emerged from within Burnley's fanbase.[109] The local police and
the club jointly established "Operation Fixture" in 2002, a scheme
The Burnley fans with a tifo display aimed at tackling hooliganism in and around Turf Moor, with more
at Turf Moor arrests, more bans and quicker convictions.[110] The group later
featured on the 2006 documentary series The Real Football
Factories presented by Danny Dyer.[111] In 2011, 12 members
were sentenced to jail for a total of 32 years, after a high-profile incident with Blackburn Rovers supporters
in 2009.[112] The firm disbanded after the verdict.[113]

In 2019, Clarets fan Scott Cunliffe was honoured by the UEFA with the #EqualGame Award "for his work
as role model highlighting diversity, inclusion and accessibility in football".[114] During Burnley's 2018–19
campaign, he ran to every single Premier League away match. It was labelled the "RunAway challenge"
and he raised more than £55,000 for Premier League clubs' community trusts and community projects in
Burnley.[115] Notable Clarets fans have included football pioneer Jimmy Hogan, who was a regular
attendee at Turf Moor;[116] journalist Alastair Campbell, who has been regularly involved in events with
the club;[117] and cricketer James Anderson, who also worked in Burnley's ticket office on a part-time
basis.[118]

A popular drink served at home matches since the First World War is "Béné & Hot"—the French liqueur
Bénédictine topped up with hot water. The East Lancashire Regiment soldiers acquired a taste for the drink
while stationed at the birthplace of the beverage in Fécamp, Normandy, during the war. They drank it with
hot water to keep warm in the trenches, and the surviving soldiers later returned to the East Lancashire area
with the liqueur. In excess of 30 bottles are sold at each home game, which makes the club one of the
world's biggest sellers of Bénédictine; Turf Moor is the only British football ground to sell it.[119]

The club's official matchday programme is named "Turf", and was voted the best at the Football League
Awards in 2009 and 2012. It was also voted the "Best Championship Matchday Programme of 2016" by
peers and "Premier League Programme of the Year" in 2019 by the Independent Programme View.[120]

Rivalries

Burnley's main rivals are Blackburn Rovers, with whom they contest the East Lancashire derby, named
after the region both clubs hail from. Games between these sides from mill towns are also known under the
name "Cotton Mills derby".[121][122] Both are founder members of the Football League and have won the
First Division and the FA Cup.[121] The two clubs are separated by only 14 miles (23 km) and besides the
geographical proximity,[122] they also have a long-standing history of rivalry; the earliest competitive clash
was a Football League match in 1888.[123] Four years earlier, however, they had met for the first time in a
friendly, "with considerable pride at stake".[7][124] Burnley hold the better head-to-head record, as the side
have won 42 games to Blackburn's 41.[123] Burnley's closest geographic rivals are actually Accrington
Stanley, but as they have never competed at the same level (although defunct club Accrington did), there is
no significant rivalry between them.[125]

Other rivalries include those with nearby clubs Blackpool, Bolton Wanderers and Preston North End.[126]
Burnley also share a Roses rivalry with West Yorkshire sides Bradford City and Leeds United.[127][128]
The team contested heated matches with Halifax Town, Plymouth Argyle, Rochdale and Stockport County
in the 1980s and 1990s during their time in the lower leagues, although feelings of animosity were mainly
one-sided.[126][127]

Owners
In 1897, the club incorporated as a limited company.[133] From their establishment until 2020, Burnley
were run by local businessmen and supporters.[84] In December 2020, Velocity Sports Partners (VSP), the
sports investment arm of American management firm ALK Capital, acquired an 84% stake in Burnley for
£170 million.[83][84] Alan Pace, managing partner of ALK Capital, subsequently replaced Mike Garlick as
the club's chairman.[134]

Records and statistics

The record for the most first team appearances in all competitions for Burnley is held by goalkeeper and
one-club man Jerry Dawson, who played 569 games between 1907 and 1929.[146] The club's top goal
scorer is George Beel, who scored 188 goals from 1923 to 1932.[146] He also holds the record for the most
league goals scored in a season, when he netted 35 times in the 1927–28 First Division.[19] Jimmy Robson
and Willie Irvine have both scored the most goals (37) in competitive matches in a single season in 1960–
61 and 1965–66, respectively.[147]

Jimmy McIlroy is the most capped player while at the club, as he made 51 appearances for Northern
Ireland between 1951 and 1962.[148] The first Burnley player to play in a full international match was John
Yates, who took to the field for England against Ireland in March 1889. He scored a hat-trick but was never
called up again.[149] In January 1957, 17-year-old Ian Lawson netted
a record four goals on his debut against Chesterfield in the FA Cup
third round.[150] The youngest player to play for the club is Tommy
Lawton, who was aged 16 years and 174 days on his debut against
Doncaster Rovers in the Second Division on 28 March 1936.[151] His
debut made him the then youngest centre-forward ever to play in the
Football League.[152] The oldest player is Len Smelt, who played his
last match aged 41 years and 132 days against Arsenal in the First
Division on 18 April 1925.[153]

In 1962, Jimmy Adamson won the FWA Footballer of the Year

award, the first and to date only time a Burnley player achieved
this.[154] Four years later, Irvine became top goal scorer in the first
tier, also a unique feat in the club's history.[155] Leighton James and
Nick Pope are the only Burnley players to have been included in the Jerry Dawson holds the record for
PFA Team of the Year while in the top tier—James was a member of most Burnley appearances, with
the 1974–75 squad and Pope was part of the 2019–20 team.[156][157] 569.

The club's largest win in league football was a 9–0 victory against
Darwen in the 1891–92 Football League.[158] Burnley's largest victories in the FA Cup have been 9–0
wins over Crystal Palace (1908–09), New Brighton (1956–57) and Penrith (1984–85).[158] The largest
defeat is an 11–0 loss to Darwen Old Wanderers in the 1885–86 FA Cup first round, when Burnley fielded
their reserve side, as most professionals were prohibited entry due to rules of the FA that year.[7][158][b]

The club's highest home attendance is 54,775, for an FA Cup third round match against Huddersfield Town
on 23 February 1924; Burnley's record home attendance in the league is 52,869, for a First Division game
against Blackpool on 11 October 1947.[95] The team's longest unbeaten run in the league was between 6
September 1920 and 25 March 1921, to which they remained unbeaten for 30 games on their way to the
First Division title. It stood as the longest stretch without defeat in a single English professional league
season until Arsenal bettered it in 2003–04.[158][159]

The highest transfer fee received is £25 million from Everton for defender Michael Keane in 2017,[160]
while the highest transfer fee paid by the club was both for forward Chris Wood from Leeds United in
2017 and for defender Ben Gibson from Middlesbrough in 2018. The pair were bought for a fee of £15
million each.[161][162] Bob Kelly broke the world transfer record in 1925, when he moved from Burnley to
Sunderland for £6,500—equivalent to £370,000 in 2021[d].[163]

Notes
a. Burnley's population had reduced by around 20 per cent since the club last won the First
Division in 1921.[33]
b. Professionals could only play in the FA Cup and County FA competitions if they had been
born or had resided within six miles (9.7 km) of their club's ground for a minimum of two
years.[7]
c. Burnley topped the league table between 25 and 26 August 1959 after their second game
but fell down to third place after the other teams completed their second fixtures.[40][41]
d. UK Retail Price Index inflation figures are based on data from Clark, Gregory (2017). "The
Annual RPI and Average Earnings for Britain, 1209 to Present (New Series)" (https://measur
ingworth.com/ukearncpi/). MeasuringWorth. Retrieved 2 February 2020.
e. McIlroy was sold to Stoke City during the 1962–63 campaign for a fee of £25,000, after he
was placed on the transfer list. This caused outrage among the Burnley fans, and some
 never returned to Turf Moor.[45] In 1999, McIlroy stated that his friendship with Reg Cooke, a
director at Burnley and rival of chairman Bob Lord, might have led to his sale by Lord.[46]
f. The 1972–73 First Division champions Liverpool and the 1972–73 FA Cup winners
Sunderland declined to compete in the 1973 FA Charity Shield, so Manchester City—the
reigning holders of the Shield—and Second Division champions Burnley played
instead.[49][50][51]
g. The badge had been adopted as the club's official crest in 1973 and had been present on
Burnley's away kits since the start of the 1976–77 season.[85]
h. Until 1993, in the event of a draw, the FA Charity Shield would be shared between the two
competing teams, with each side having possession of the trophy for six months. Burnley
and Wolverhampton Wanderers drew 2–2.[43][142]
i. Upon its formation in 1992, the Premier League became the top tier of English football; the
Football League First, Second and Third Divisions then became the second, third and fourth
tiers, respectively.[139] From 2004, the First Division became the Championship, the Second
Division became League One and the Third Division became League Two.[140]
j. The club has fielded its reserve team in the competition since the mid-1990s.[145]
